Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The willow is too close to the house.

Bark louder, little dog.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Great Dane Rescue: Florida

This post is in: ,

I know this is probably a long shot, but I wanted to bring Hank to your attention. Reading his story (ok, reading every rescue story while I was looking to rescue over the last two years) breaks my heart. There is just something about Danes.

Hank is NOT for anyone who is not Giant Breed experienced. But anyone who has that experience, understands the special challenges that are ahead for this guy, and are big hearted enough to meet those challenges, this might be your dog.

We just walked Bixby and Scout through Murdochs tonight to pick up dog food and what should have been a quick 15 minute trip turned into 45 minutes of loving on Bixby by a whole bunch of kids and a 6 month lab mix who seemed to be slightly in love with him (Scout got her share of scritches, too, but since she’s not allowed out of the shopping cart yet, it wasn’t the same for the kids as having this 160 lbs slobber monster lean and love on you).

Hank will not have those experiences. But he does need a loving home. Pass it on…

Here is Hank’s adoption information, Northwest Florida Great Dane Rescue

Bixby, Scout (and Bailey for sure) thank you.

    As an owner myself of a dog who cannot be around other dogs, I hope prospective owners don’t see it as a dealbreaker. It’s not too hard to deal with, and it means more doggy attention for me.

    Holy shit, Hank and I weigh the same. Does he sell propane and propane accessories?

    Hank looks like a Good Boy and I hope he lands in the accommodating lap of somebody ready for a Big Boy challenge! We’re already puppehed.

    @Nicole: Well, in a powerful Great Dane it can be a deal breaker. My not very powerful boxer mix became dog unfriendly, and finally started a fight that cost her her life. While being cared for by an experienced dog sitter. It’s not something to take lightly.

    God, I wish I could take him. I rescued a Dane under similar circumstances many years ago. Maggie couldn’t be placed anywhere, but she was one of the greatest dogs I’ve ever had. If Hank is chewing on other dogs, he won’t fit in with my two now. Danes are the most loyal and friendly dogs, and they don’t require a shitload of exercise (though they love it). Please someone take this fellow!

    Oh wow. As a Giant Breed lover, just…oh wow. My current rescue girl (mostly Gt Pyr, although she looks like an outsized Border Collie) does NOT like other dogs. It’s apparently a Pyr trait. Sigh. We thought she was a Newf X when I adopted her, but after 2 days I said, no way! Did a DNA test etc. (fun, but a little weird. My daughter said, “Mom, don’t be a dog racist.) Anyhow, I’d take him if I could, but it would be terrible fights 24/7. sigh.

    @satby: Yeah, late to the thread, but I’m with you – having rescued a 90-lb shepherd/Rottie mix who had an *intermittent* other-dog problem – ie, it was random there for a couple years whether she’d get along or attack. She finally got over that problem, but I’d hate to have to deal with an even bigger dog with a *known* dog aggression problem. To me, that’s just asking for trouble and heartbreak.
